Mary Valley

Mary Valley at a glance

Mary Valley is all about good old-fashioned country hospitality and winding country drives through country towns like Dagun, Amamoor, Kandanga and Imbil. Stop for lunch at a local cafe or an authentic country pub such as the Railway Hotel in Imbil. The Kenilworth Country Foods factory offers for free tastings of their award-winning hand-made cheese.

The leisurely Kenilworth Forest Drive winds through pine plantations and open eucalypt forests of grey ironbark, grey gum and white mahogany.

You can hike the picturesque Conondale Range with its rainforests, mosaics of plantation forests, lookouts, waterfalls, cascades and boulder-strewn creeks. Or stop for a picnic at Little Yabba Creek and Booloumba Creek. Borumba Dam is another top picnic spot and a great place to cast a line for golden perch, Mary River cod or saratoga.

Horse-riding trails cut through three kinds of forests - eucalypt forest, plantation forest and rainforest - in a single ride.

But the most unique way to experience the spectacular countryside is a ride on the Mary Valley Heritage Railway.

So soak up the scenic views and country hospitality in the beautiful Mary Valley.
